1. Day by day, Lord,
Heal my mind,
2. And, bit by bit,
Please make me whole.
3. Step by step,
Rebuild my peace,
4. And, drop by drop,
Restore my soul.

You’ve written a poem in return! XXXXXX
I am no poet Ruth, I do not possess that skill. I write what the Lord lays on my heart, often from words penned by yourself lately. The spiritual gift of poetry that you possess is a fountain of blessing for those who read your work. I count myself privileged and blessed to be one of your readers.
You are far too kind, Alan – I only do exactly the same as you. God gives me the insight and some words, then helps me to shape it and make it comprehensible. He is so kind XXXXXX
